Long Walk To D.C. |
| It’s a long walk to DC but I’ve got my walking shoes on |
| I can’t take a plane, passer train, because my money ain’t that long |
| America we believe, oh that you love us still |
| So people I’m gonna be under to wipe away my tears |
| I’ll tell ya, it’s a long walk to DC but I’m on, ooh, yes, I am |
| Ooh yeah, but I know I’ll make it some day |
| I know it’s a whole lot of rocks and rifts before I make it there |
| Should’ve been going on yesterday, but today I am a leaving here |
| I’ve got a dime for some coffee, I got a dime to buy me a cake |
| I gotta see the president no matter what it takes |
| I’ll tell yah, It’s a long walk to DC, yeah |
| But I’m lonely, oh yes I am ooh, yeah, but I know I’ll make it some day |
| I know that its a whole lots of rocks and rifts before I make it there |
| I should have been going on yesterday but today I am a leaving here |
| I’ve got a dime for some coffee, 'nother dime to buy me a cake |
| I gotta see the president, no matter what it takes |
| I’ll tell ya, it’s a long walk to DC but I’m on, ooh, yes, I am |
| Ooh yeah, but I know I’ll make it some day |
| I’m gonna step out of Jackson, our Mississippi town |
| Through Alabama, haw, you know I’m Memphis bound |
| North Carolina, Virginia too |
| I gotta set my feet now on the national ground, yeah |
